I finally received my Amiami order containing
Squirrel Chiika that I snagged from the pre-owned section~ ♥ I've seen this doll go for over 20,000yen on Yahoo!Japan, so I was really pleased to find it for only 18,000yen. By getting her from Amiami, I also saved all the commission fees that I would've had to pay if I got her from Y!J :)
I combined her to my September order which got delayed for over a month by one outfit, so I waited for her quite long ^^; When I finally got an email from Amiami that the order is ready to be shipped, I was so impatient that I chose EMS shipping instead of the usual Airmail X'D The package wasn't so heavy, so EMS was only a bit more expensive than Airmail. After this long wait at least the shipping was fast!
Here she is in her adorable box :3 Chiika was my first doll from this forest animal series, but Sarg has Bambi Raili, Cat Aika and Wolf Himeno. I think the boxes for this series are really adorably designed! ♥
That smiling mouth is so cute! ♥ I already had two Chiikas with the surprised/wondering expression, so it's great that this one has a different mouth~ I could easily own an army of Chiikas though, they're so cute >w< Aaand actually I'm not far from an army, since I'll have 4 Chiikas after the Picconeemo version comes home...
This makes me think of lolita clothes! ♥
At the backside of the box there's a picture of the standard version with the DS version.

A cute little comic, featuring Usagi-san (Rabbit) Miu ♥
Chiika also came with a bunch of extra hands, which I wasn't expecting! Most of the dolls that I've got didn't come with any (I guess Azone doesn't include them with the newer releases), but this was definitely a positive surprise XD I have so many Pureneemo girls already that I would've had to buy more of these hands soon anyway.
The accessories she came with~ The rest she was already wearing in the box
Aaaand here she is! ♥ I've decided to give her the name
Totori, which is like a funny mixture of Totoro and Kotori XD I wanted her nickname to be Toto-chan, but felt like Totoro would be too common, so I came up with something a bit different. I like combining different names >3<
The fluffy squirrel tail ♥ It's sewn on her pants, but with just a few stitches so I think it'd be easy to separate it from the pants and attach it on some other clothing instead.
I really love this hairband with squirrel ears, so cute *3*
Happy little squirrel ready for adventures! ♥
This doll has been one of my most wished Azone dolls, so I'm really happy to finally have her! Now if we only managed to find the DS version of this Chiika for Sarg, she'd be Totori's twin sister~ There are only a few of the older releases left on my wishlist now, so I can concentrate on the future releases :3 The new releases of Nina and Chisa will be up for pre-order starting from Thursday and I'm still torn about whether or not I want to get that Chisa ;___;
Besides Chiika, my Amiami order also had these (pink) clothes for my girls~ The cardigan (on right) is much nicer than I expected, so I might want it in some other color (brown?) as well.
And these are for Sarg's dolls. That maid dress is the one that delayed the whole damn order :'D I actually tried it on Totori after taking the photos and now I think I need to buy one for her as well... Thank you Neemos for taking my money u_u
